Yes, it is possible to create an App Intent for chats. According to the session Design App Intents for system experiences, you should avoid making several different intents for the same task and instead structure your app's functionality into a flexible intent where the parameters can be adjusted. This means you can create a chat-related App Intent that includes parameters for different chat functionalities, such as sending a message, starting a new chat, or opening a specific chat.
For more detailed guidance on how to structure your app intents, you can refer to the chapter Structuring App Intents in the same session.
